Verizon Wireless is working to convince the FCC and Justice Department to approve its $3.9 billion purchase of AWS spectrum from Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks and Comcast. The companies also forged a marketing arrangement that would allow them to cross-sell each other's products.

Verizon said it needs the cable-owned airwaves to add capacity to its LTE network and has argued that its FiOS product will remain competitive even as it moves to sell other companies' cable service in its own stores.

Opponents say the deal would consolidate too much spectrum with Verizon and have questioned whether the marketing deal amounts to a non-compete agreement.

Last week, five cities in the Northeast voiced concerns that Verizon would have “little incentive” to expand FiOS to their communities if its marketing arrangement with cable operators went through.
